And Boston Dynamics makes its robot dog, Spot, available for sale at $74,500 plus tax. In research, a team at Duke University introduces PULSE, which sharpens blurry images, in essence by exploring the space of plausible high-res images that could result in the blurry image. The report of the week comes from Perry World House, who published the results of a Policy Roundtable on AI hosted last fall. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute and the International Committee of the Red Cross offer their take on Limits on Autonomy in Weapon Systems, by identifying the practical elements of human control. The review of the week from University of Waterloo provides an overview of text detection and recognition in the wild. MacroPolo provides a snapshot of Global AI Talent, using participants from the 2019 NeurIPS. Spring-Verlag provides yet another free text, from Eiben and Smith, on an Introduction to Evolutionary Computing.
